I’ve been thinking about adding this to my “Fuck it, I’ll do it myself” / SHTF pile. I have a spare 10-15GB for a good selection of basic articles (across sciences, history, pop culture trivia etc).

There’s something inherently cool about having wikipedia in a box (yes, you’d likely need to refresh it once a year) but I’ve never heard of anyone actually self hosting a Kiwix instance.

    That was actually my immediate thought. I already have Wikipedia as a trusted source for llm, but I would prefer to self host and not hammer them.

    130GB to fit the entirely of Wikipedia is basically nothing and I’m mildly embarrassed not to have done it already.

      I also try to participate in some of the farms, running zimit and mwoffliner to help make more archives. Feels like I’m helping.
